    Fuel Price

    Let me tell you that the only people affected by the fuel increase is the bottom consumer. Every dick, tom and harry that owns any form of business, just ups his pricing in accordance with the fuel increase. And then of course blame the hike on the fuel increase. They still go home with the same...

    Seweweekspoort to Laingsburg... Beware!!!

    Exactly Danie. They don't do it, because they have had fair warning. Had I been going on a trip that way now, usually with mommy on the back, I would surely appreciate the warning. Rolling pebbles scares me shitless :biggrin:

    Why is my head itching when I wear a helmet?

    My wife had the same problem. I ended up buying another helmet and the problem was solved. Give it a go. Walk around the shop with it on for a while to see if the itch starts?  :biggrin:

    Old tools are like good friends

    Yip, it works as smooth as butter. Nice old tool. I cannot find any info on it, but seems to be about 100 years old.  The vernier is old German. My guess about 1910 - 1920.

    Old tools are like good friends

    Some in my collection. I also have an old 1928 OEM valve lifter for a Ford Model T. Let's see who can guess the age of these two?
